to do lists of the semi-adult: episode 4

We took a break for the Fourth of July, but we are back with episode four of the To Do Lists of the Semi-Adult podcast. In this episode, Jewels and I talk about moments that made us feel like an adult. Jewels talks about canceling a trip so she could be with her husband, and I talk about planning a vacation. We think one of the biggest things that makes us feel like an adult is knowing what we need and how to articulate it. (Captain Awkward has great tips for this.) Plus we talk about smaller moments like a mess-free manicures and eating ice cream for dinner (like a total adult). We’d love to hear about your own milestones–what made you feel like an adult!–in the comments or on Twitter!

In our lightning round, we talked about how I just finished Mr. Mercedes (you can see my thoughts here and here), and I’m currently reading the graphic novel series (comic book series?) The Preacher. Jewels is reading food-related noel Ruth Reichl’s Tender at the Bone.
